The post on Glyco Flex got me thinking...how many of you supplement your pups and young dogs with joint supplements?

Why do you feel it's a good idea? What age do you start? What do you use? What have your results been?

I've never really started my dogs on joint support stuff until they were 7 or so, but I am curious about this.

I give all my pups starting at 8 weeks these Natures Farmacy products:

I use both those products with my adults, but I don't start the young dogs until they're over a year. I thought I remember that was what was recommended by NF.

I start my guys at around 6 months on the same product I give my seniors (it's a human one containing Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, and HA), but at a lower dose.

Having had a girl with ED before, I tend to think of it as just being prophylactic - in case they develop joint issues down the road. May not help (my now 12+ year old that was started this way doesn't have issues, but maybe he wouldn't have anyway), but doesn't seem to hurt.
